2009-2021 : regards sur l’évolution des usages des médias sociaux dans la sphère scientifique et le monde de la culture scientifique en France

Abstract

Written by two scientific communication professionals, with complementary backgrounds, one in scientific institutions and the other in a scientific culture organization, and enriched with testimonies, this article proposes a review of the evolution of the use of social media in the scientific sphere and the field of scientific culture in France over the last twelve years. Between the initial enthusiasm, then a certain weariness linked to the rise of mistrust towards science and the progression of online hatred, this article proposes some leads in order to arrive at the beginnings of a hybrid functioning, between institutional actors, authors and the general public.
